Men v. Women Roles
In Ancient Egypt, different people had different roles in helping society. But how did men help society and how did women help society?
Men and women had some roles that were the same and some roles that were different. Men and women both had basically the same economic rights. rights were based off of class, not gender. There were some men and some women pharaohs. King Narmer, King Tut, and Ramses the Great are some examples of male pharaohs. One very famous female pharaoh was Queen Hatshepsut. They all had the same job: to rule Egypt. Typical jobs for men were farmers, scribes, and craftspeople. Women seemed to more often be scribes and craftspeople than farmers. Women and men alike could sell property, slaves, and settle legal arguments.
